S1ight distance below the uppef edge of the So111e. The ends 2 oon be stitched to the n1embe1' 1 though the dTowing show5 these ends 2 attached to the body art of the Inen1ber 1 by the Staples 5. Thus the nlembef 1 oan be bent into s11b stontially 1oop of tapefed oylindrioa1 shape ond the wife Win fetain 1t in the Shalpe to Which it is bent.

The body paft 6 of the neokfie iS folded of fts upper poftion and the edges of the folded poft sevvn togethor to foTm a tubulaT paTt 8- This tubular paft is then tnfned inside o11t ond itS up er end Sewn to the innef face of the nleInber 1 aS Shown of 1 in 1 'ig11re 3 and one end of a stfip 9 of fhe same n1atefial os the body 6, is also Sewn to the n1en1ber 1 by this sanle stitohing 7. The11 the t11b11laf paft 8 iS brought up ovef the 1nen1bef 1 in the nlonner shown in 1gure and its free end paSSed ove1' the uppef edge of the nlefnber 1 ond sevvn by StitcheS 11 to othe1 poftions of the tubulaf poft vvithin the space forfned by the fne111 5 bef 1 os shoWn 111 E1gure 2. The partS ore so an1' fanged and SeWn togethef that the stTip 9 paSSes at on angle fron1 the top poft of the knot foTIn ing po1t1on oon1posed of the IneInbef 1 covefed by the tubula1' poff 8 of the body of the neoktie- Said knot foffn111g poftion is now bent i11to 1oop 01' tapefed oy1if1dfica1 shape aS Shovvn 111 Fig. 2 to produce the knot 12 which in a ffont view as 811011111 in 1g. 1 fese1nbleS the 11s11a1 knot in 8 foufinhand tie, and while this knot is hollovv the adjooent ends of the knot foffning poftion o1e S1ighfly spaced opaff foTn1ing a longitudinal S1ot 13 i11 the baok of the knot vv11ioh acts aS an en tfan^ce to the intefiof of said knot, ond this S1ot is fefefably vvider at its opper end thon of its 1ower end aS loinl shovvn in f'i 2. *The en trance 13 pern1its a free poftion of the portion of the stfip of neokband 9 t( be pasSedodgewiSe of' sidev1rise th1ough the entfonoe 13 into the ho1 1ow knO 12. The tie iS then adjuSted to place the k11ot fofIning oftion of the ffont of the collar in the 11S11a1 mnnef.

1 1 1nembef 10 iS oofried by one of the ends 2 of the nleInber 1 and includeS an eye port ond a point os shown in Fig. 6, the point extending downWofd1y to engage a part of the StTip of neok band 9 to hold the lattef relative to the knot in adj11Sted position, and to pfevent S1ipping of Said knot felative to salid stfip of neckband. vvhen the stfip of neckbond 9 1s being p1111ed ffofn the knot, it1s fSt puned in the difeotion Whioh tendS to tighten the Safne abo11t a vveofef,s neck of a, collof whioh action vvi11 cause the stfip 9 to engage the eye paft of the 1nenlbef 10 and thfow the point of soid 1neInbeffo one side So that the point iS diSengoged ffofn the stfip 9 and the latter oo11then be vvithdfavvn fro1n the knot.

111 11Sing the device, the knot poftion of the neoktie is plooed of the left side of the conar and the Stfip of neckband 9 is pasSed ofound the collaf. The knot is then S1ig11tly tilted ond a1So S1ig11tly fotated to give accesS t() the uppef Wide en(1 of the entfance 13 so thot the strip of neckband 9 111a4y be insefted Side1vise of edgevv1Se 1nto the k11ot thfough the entfance after vv11ich the' knot is slid upwardly and plaoed in the desifed position of the front of the oollor. During the 11pvvofd n1oveInent of the knot, the latter is diSef1g a,e the p of me beT ffom the stfip 9,
